Allergy testing and treatment

The word Allergy is derived from the Greek words meaning "altered reaction" and an allergic individual usually suffers physical symptoms (asthma, migraine, rashes, etc) when exposed to substances to which he/she is sensitive. The substance, which provokes this reaction, is called the allergen. It can be house dust, pats dander, foods, pollen of the trees, etc...

Over the past few years , there has been increasing awareness of many diseases and complaints that can be caused, or contributed to, by the presence of allergies. Allergies are quite common. Over 20% of the population is allergic to something.

However, when one considers symptoms such as hay fever, asthma, eczema and food intolerance, the true incidence of allergy and/or intolerance to one or more agents would be much higher.

Common symptoms of food allergy can include:

Allergic Food Reaction can be immediate and delayed.

Immediate food reaction can occur within 3 hours after digestion This reaction is caused by the presence of a high IGE antibody level in the blood, which set off an immediate allergic response. Symptoms can be mild as itching or rashes and very sever as anaphylaxis ?a life-threatening.

Most common IGE connected food allergens: peanuts, eggs, shellfish, milk, soy. It can be detected by skin test.

Delayed Food Reaction can occur up to several days after ingestion of the reactive food, making it difficult to diagnose. According to resent research, IgE antibodies cause immediate food reaction . Delayed food reaction are often associated with IgG4, a subclass of the IgG.

To identify the food allergy we have been using Food Allergy Test as a combination IgE and IgG protocol. It is Elisa type test to screen blood samples for the specific IgG or IgE allergens.

Why would you choose a naturopathic doctor?

People are sick and tired of being 'sick and tired'. They are becoming increasingly aware that although drugs and surgery are valuable tools, they are not always the answer.

Many individuals do not feel well and yet after seeing their medical doctors, are told that the physical exams and blood tests indicate that they are in perfect health. They are frustrated by health concerns that are not easily answered and are told they have to live with them.

A naturopathic doctor sees an individual's symptoms as the body's way of expressing imbalances. The overall goal is to remove the cause of the illness, and thus not only alleviate the symptoms, but address why those symptoms arose initially. In supporting rather than over-riding the body's natural mechanisms often the body will return to a healthy state if given the opportunity.

All this, along with her other personal qualities, led to an excellent results - I was cured of the disease. Since then, I have been seeking Inna's advice in almost every medical concern that I have had, and so far she has never failed to help me.
